There were reports that the North Moana Army had camped on a mountain dozens of kilometers north of the South
Cloud Royal City. After a few hours of rest, they would probably attack the Royal City. Once the Royal City had fallen,
the entire South Cloud World would be completely finished.
“Everyone!”
The Empress looked around her; she was worried and sorrowful. “Is there any way to stop the North Moana Army?”
The civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one came forward to make a suggestion. The entire hall
fell silent.
Alright!
The Empress breathed a long sigh as she looked at Darryl. “Not even you, Darryl?”
There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes when she said that.
Darryl smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, “Your Majesty, I can’t do anything as well.”
Darryl was dejected.
Since he became a cultivator, Darryl had been extremely confident in everything he did, especially about formation
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttechniques. Darryl believed that he could be the most well-learned person in formations.
After all, he had the Bai Qi Formations, which included all the formations in the world. Therefore, any opponent who
confronted him was simply looking for death.
After he knew that his opponent was Zhang Jue, the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion during the Three
Kingdoms period, Darryl knew that he had been overconfident about the whole thing.
During the Three Kingdoms period thousands of years ago, Zhang Jue led the Yellow Turban Rebellion and caused
great turmoil to the world. There was no other force that could fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It was Lu
Bu who had joined forces with other elites to defeat Zhang Jue.
Even Lu Bu needed help to subdue Zhang Jue. So how could Darryl take him down single-handedly?
Furthermore, Zhang Jue was a ruthless man, and he did not care about the life and death of other people. Darryl
was not the same as him.
Darryl felt bitter in his heart.
It was over.
The Empress shuddered when she heard Darryl’s answer. Her beautiful face was ashen, and her heart was
completely broken.
However, Darryl could not help her; the South Cloud World was finished.
The next second, the Empress breathed a long sigh and said softly, “If this is the case, then we shall give the South
Cloud World to Yang Jian.”
The Empress took the royal jade seal and handed it to the eunuch beside her. “Send an envoy to hand this royal
jade seal to Yang Jian immediately. Tell him that we will not carry on with this battle; we do not want to hurt more
innocent people.”
The royal jade seal was a symbol of the Emperor’s status in the South Cloud World. The Empress was ready to hand
it over—it meant she had given up the South Cloud World.
The Empress might have seemed weak, but her mind was strong. Otherwise, she would not have become the
Empress.
In her heart, she would never surrender, let alone submit to Yang Jian. The only way she could help under the
circumstances was to hand the royal jade seal over and give up on the South Cloud World. That was the only way
they could avoid the scourge of war.

Quincy, who was next to the Empress, became anxious. Finally, she said, “You can’t hand the royal jade seal to him.
Maybe there is another way out…”
The royal jade seal had been passed down for thousands of years in the South Cloud World, and it was a piece of
treasure that had belonged to all the previous Emperors. It was a symbol of the supreme authority of the South
Cloud World Royal. So how could they give it to Yang Jian?
Quincy wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted by the Empress.
“Sister, don’t say anything else.” The Empress sighed softly; her beautiful face looked bitter. “Perhaps this is our
fate. What else can we do if we don’t hand the royal jade seal to them?”
That could be true…
Quincy suddenly felt sad to hear that. The North Moana Army was unstoppable, and Yang Jian—Grandmaster Erlang
—had the unfathomable power to shake the world. There was no way for the South Cloud World to win the war. If
there were a possibility, South Cloud World would not have lost so many cities.
However, Quincy was unwilling to give up.
The next second, Quincy’s gaze fell on Darryl, and she growled, “Darryl, it’s all your fault! If you hadn’t angered
Yang Jian, the South Cloud World would not have ended in such an ill fate.”
